The cursor blink function can only be turned off/on in certain application screens via the keyboard using the ALT ALT X commands. If total cursor blink disable is desired, perform the following steps. From another display on a command line:

1. Type WRKCFGSTS *DEV (device name), Enter.
2. Enter option 2 (Vary off device).
3. Enter option 8 to Work with description.
4. Enter option 2 (Change).
5. Cursor down to "Allow blinking cursor" and change "*YES" to "*NO" and press Enter.
6. Enter option 8 (Work with status).
7. In the device description field enter option 1 (Vary on).
If the display is a TC2677, the terminal will
automatically vary on after the entry is made and the
"Enter key" is pressed in Step 5.
8. If the display is a TC2677 the cursor will still be
blinking on the sign on screen. Press "Alt Alt X". The
cursor will now be solid in all screens.
